They are a sharp looking bike but I think they're way over-priced compared to the other bikes available $17k+.

Seems 'dropping a deuce' is not only a relief for people, but for Harley as well.

The Deuce and V-Rod are two bikes that just don't look like a Harley!!!

Just my opinion but I think the stretched tank and rear fender

are definently the culprits to its demise

The Deuce was/is pricey compared to other similar Harley cruisers. That two-toned blue Deuce in my sig caught my eye the very first time I walked into the dealership. I tried to stay away - it cost too much. I thought I'd buy a Sporty custom (always liked sporties). Then I talked myself into a Super Glide Custom (bigger motor but a little more $$$), but that blue Deuce just sat there, and I kept walking back to it. It may have been "lovely" to some, but to me it was BAD A$$. I bought it.
Now it sports a D&D FatCat, dragbars w'8" risers, rear lowered 1.25", tach, custom mirrors, dynoed, etc. etc. I love my Deuce and I honestly would not trade it for any other motorcycle - Harley, metric, or custom.

Ride what you like. I do.

i dunno. . . i don't hate it. you almost always swap out the stock pipes and can do almost anything to a bike after that. it's still a soft tail at heart

An aquantance of mine has a Night Train like your's. He installed black sliders on the front forks and it really looks great.
